SEPT. 30 | Rhythm & Roses

BK Celebrates NOLA X NOLA with a special Rhythm & Roses concert on Sept. 30 featuring Ingrid Lucia.

Ingrid Lucia is a dynamic vocalist, bandleader, and songwriter known for her sultry voice, vintage style, and magnetic stage presence. Hailing from the heart of New Orleans, she blends the smoky soul of jazz, the bounce of swing, and the storytelling of classic American roots music into something utterly her own. Frontwoman of the acclaimed Flying Neutrinos, Ingrid has captivated audiences from Bourbon Street to international jazz festivals with her timeless charm and modern grit. Whether she’s crooning a torch song or tearing through a hot jazz number, Ingrid embodies the spirit of an era gone by—revived, reimagined, and roaring into the now.

Doors open at 6:30 with the concert starting at 7:00 pm.

Ticket price: BK Member – $25 / Non-member – $30

OCT. 11 | Soirée in the Vieux Carré

Please mark your calendar for Sunday, October 11, 2026, from 6 to 9 PM and join us for an evening of music, libations, dancing, history, and community under the stars at BK.

This year’s fundraiser supports critical exterior repairs to the dependency buildings, including the shutters, doors, and windows that elegantly encase the courtyard garden while protecting BK’s irreplaceable interiors and collections.

BK’s Soirée in the Vieux Carré is not just another fundraising event. It is your time to be a preservationist (if only for the evening) while mingling with friends, neighbors, and lovers of BK’s storied past. Your support as a patron and champion of BK sustains our vital mission to preserve and share Historic BK House & Gardens as a dynamic place for the cultural, architectural, literary, and artistic heritage of the French Quarter and New Orleans since 1826.
